Product Handling Precautions
 WARNING•  Do not use the camera near fl  ammable or 
explosive gases.
•  Do not use the  fl ash and LED on people 
(infants, small children, etc.) at close 
range.
You must be at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from 
the faces of your subjects. Firing the fl  ash 
too close to the subjects eyes could cause 
a momentary loss of vision.
•  Keep young children and infants away 
from the camera.
Always use and store the camera out of 
the reach of young children and infants to 
prevent the following dangerous situations 
which could cause serious injury:
•  Becoming entangled in the camera strap,  causing strangulation.
•  Accidentally swallowing the battery, cards  or other small parts. 
						

							122EN
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
12
• Accidentally fi ring the  fl ash into their own 
eyes or those of another child.
•  Accidentally being injured by the moving  parts of the camera.
•  Do not look at the sun or strong lights 
with the camera.
•  Do not use or store the camera in dusty or 
humid places.
•  Do not cover the fl  ash with a hand while 
fi  ring.
 CAUTION•  Stop using the camera immediately if 
you notice any unusual odors, noise, or 
smoke around it.
Never remove the batteries with bare 
hands, which may cause a  fi re or burn your 
hands.
•  Never hold or operate the camera with 
wet hands.
•  Do not leave the camera in places where 
it may be subject to extremely high 
temperatures.
Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate 
and, in some circumstances, cause the 
camera to catch fi  re.
Do not use the charger if it is covered (such 
as a blanket). This could cause overheating, 
resulting in  fi re.
•  Handle the camera with care to avoid 
getting a low-temperature burn.
When the camera contains metal parts, 
overheating can result in a low-temperature 
burn. Pay attention to the following:
•  When used for a long period, the camera  will get hot. If you hold on to the camera 
in this state, a low temperature burn may 
be caused.
•  In places subject to extremely cold  temperatures, the temperature of the 
cameras body may be lower than the 
environmental temperature. If possible, 
wear gloves when handling the camera in 
cold temperatures.
•  Be careful with the strap.
Be careful with the strap when you carry 
the camera. It could easily catch on stray 
objects - and cause serious damage.
 Battery Handling Precautions
Follow these important guidelines to prevent 
batteries from leaking, overheating, burning, 
exploding, or causing electrical shocks or burns.
 DANGER•  The camera uses a lithium ion battery  specifi  ed by Olympus. Charge the battery 
with the speci fi ed charger. Do not use any 
other chargers. •  Never heat or incinerate batteries.
•  Take precautions when carrying or storing 
batteries to prevent them from coming into 
contact with any metal objects such as 
jewelry, pins, fasteners, etc.
•  Never store batteries where they will be  exposed to direct sunlight, or subjected to 
high temperatures in a hot vehicle, near a 
heat source, etc.
•  To prevent causing battery leaks or damaging  their terminals, carefully follow all instructions 
regarding the use of batteries. Never attempt 
to disassemble a battery or modify it in any 
way, by soldering, etc.
• If battery  fl uid gets into your eyes, fl  ush 
your eyes immediately with clear, cold 
running water and seek medical attention 
immediately.
•  Always store batteries out of the reach of  small children. If a child accidentally swallows 
a battery, seek medical attention immediately.
•  Should you notice that the charger is emitting  smoke, heat, or an unusual noise or smell, 
immediately cease use and unplug the 
charger from the power outlet, and then 
contact an authorized distributor or service 
center.
 WARNING•  Keep batteries dry at all times.
•  To prevent batteries from leaking, overheating, or causing a  fi re or explosion, 
use only batteries recommended for use with 
this product.
•  Insert the battery carefully as described in the  operating instructions.
•  If rechargeable batteries have not been  recharged within the speci fi ed time, stop 
charging them and do not use them.
•  Do not use a battery if it is cracked or broken.
•  If a battery leaks, becomes discolored or  deformed, or becomes abnormal in any other 
way during operation, stop using the camera.
•  If a battery leaks fl  uid onto your clothing 
or skin, remove the clothing and  fl ush the 
affected area with clean, running cold water 
immediately. If the fl  uid burns your skin, seek 
medical attention immediately.
•  Never subject batteries to strong shocks or  continuous vibration.
 CAUTION•  Before loading, always inspect the battery carefully for leaks, discoloration, warping, or 
any other abnormality.
•  The battery may become hot during  prolonged use. To avoid minor burns, do not 
remove it immediately after using the camera.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
12
•  Always unload the battery from the camera before storing the camera for a long period.
•  This camera uses a lithium ion battery  specifi  ed by Olympus. Do not use any other 
type of battery. For safe and proper use, read 
the batterys instruction manual carefully 
before using it.
•  If the batterys terminals get wet or greasy,  camera contact failure may result. Wipe the 
battery well with a dry cloth before use.
•  Always charge a battery when using it for  the fi  rst time, or if it has not been used for a 
long period.
•  When operating the camera with battery  power at low temperatures, try to keep 
the camera and spare battery as warm as 
possible. A battery that has run down at 
low temperatures may be restored after it is 
warmed at room temperature.
•  The number of pictures you can take may  vary depending on the shooting conditions 
or battery.
•  Before going on a long trip, and especially  before traveling abroad, purchase extra 
batteries. A recommended battery may be 
diffi  cult to obtain while traveling.
•  When the camera will not be used for an  extended period, store it in a cool place.
•  Please recycle batteries to help save our  planet’s resources. When you throw away 
dead batteries, be sure to cover their 
terminals and always observe local laws and 
regulations.
Caution for Usage Environment
•  To protect the high-precision technology contained in this product, never leave the 
camera in the places listed below, no matter if 
in use or storage:
•  Places where temperatures and/or  humidity are high or go through extreme 
changes. Direct sunlight, beaches, locked 
cars, or near other heat sources (stove, 
radiator, etc.) or humidi fi ers.
•  In sandy or dusty environments.
• Near  fl ammable items or explosives.
•  In wet places, such as bathrooms or  in the rain. When using products with 
weatherproof designs, read their manuals 
as well.
•  In places prone to strong vibrations.
•  Never drop the camera or subject it to severe  shocks or vibrations.
•  When mounted on a tripod, adjust the  position of the camera with the tripod head. 
Do not twist the camera.
•  Do not leave the camera pointed directly at the sun. This may cause lens or shutter 
curtain damage, color failure, ghosting on 
the image pickup device, or may possibly 
cause fi  res.
•  Do not touch electric contacts on cameras  and interchangeable lenses. Remember to 
attach the body cap when removing the lens.
•  Before storing the camera for a long period,  remove the battery. Select a cool, dry location 
for storage to prevent condensation or 
mold from forming inside the camera. After 
storage, test the camera by turning it on and 
pressing the shutter release button to make 
sure that it is operating normally.
•  The camera may malfunction if it is used in  a location where it is subject to a magnetic/
electromagnetic  fi eld, radio waves, or high 
voltage, such as near a TV set, microwave, 
video game, loud speakers, large monitor 
unit, TV/radio tower, or transmission towers. 
In such cases, turn the camera off and on 
again before further operation.
•  Always observe the operating environment  restrictions described in the cameras 
manual.
•  Do not directly touch or wipe the image  pickup device of the camera.
Monitor
The display on the rear of the camera is an LCD 
monitor.
•  In the unlikely event that the monitor  breaks, do not put the liquid crystal in your 
mouth. Any of the material adhering to your 
hands, feet, or clothing should be rinsed off 
immediately.
•  A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom  of the monitor, but this is not a malfunction.
•  When a subject is viewed diagonally in the  camera, the edges may appear zigzagged on 
the monitor. This is not a malfunction; it will 
be less noticeable in playback mode.
•  In places subject to low temperatures, the  monitor may take a long time to turn on or its 
color may change temporarily.
When using the camera in extremely cold 
places, it is a good idea to occasionally place 
it in a warm place. An monitor exhibiting poor 
performance due to low temperatures will 
recover in normal temperatures.
•  The monitor is made with high-precision  technology. However, black spots or bright 
spots of light may appear constantly on the 
monitor. 
Due to its characteristics or the angle at 
which you are viewing the monitor, the spot 
may not be uniform in color and brightness. 
This is not a malfunction.
